A/C Compressor: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD and 2018 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator where it is compressed to a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. The hot compressed vapor is then discharged to the condenser.
